About this webinar
Illegitimacy. Poverty. Footloose fathers. Record destruction. Name changes. Conflicting data. Forged Bibles. Careless research by predecessors. All these problems can be overcome even when all are combined into one perplexing person. This session presents eight basic principles on which sound research is grounded. For each, it demonstrates how to apply that principle, drawing upon the presenter’s famed case that proved James Ball of Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, to be the father of a child born to an unmarried mother in 1824 Louisiana.

I can't wait to read these proofs! What a fascinating case!
Enjoyed learning from this webinar. Thank you
Very good webinar. It answered a question on my own great-grandfather who was born ISETT and then changed his last name to his biological father's name Crawford prior to his marriage in 1893. I haven't yet located a legal name change record, but there may not be one. He did change his last name prior to the death of his father, but after the death of his grandmother Isett who didn't allow/want her daughter to marry Mr. Crawford. \nMore research to be done.
Thank you so much for giving us this wonderful webinar Elizabeth ❤️?
